The work Tsar Alexander I of Russia (1777-1825), facing right in black coat with gold-embroidered red collar, wearing the blue moiré sash and breast star of the Russian Order of St. Andrew by Domenico Bossi was sold in the IMPORTANT PORTRAIT MINIATURES, GOLD BOXES & OBJECTS OF VERTU auction at Christies in London in May 2002. It achieved a price of GBP 4,541.00 (€ 7,111.27), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 51%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Domenico Bossi - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Duke Adam of Württemberg (1792-1847), In Red Coat With Gold-Embroidered Red Facings, Gold Tassels And Buttons, Fur Collar And Dark Cravat, Wearing The Breast-Star of The Royal Württemberg Order of The Golden Eagle, which sold at auction in July 2005 for GBP 19,200.00 (€ 27,849.42).

Die Arbeit Tsar Alexander I of Russia (1777-1825), facing right in black coat with gold-embroidered red collar, wearing the blue moiré sash and breast star of the Russian Order of St. Andrew von Domenico Bossi wurde im Mai 2002 in der Auktion IMPORTANT PORTRAIT MINIATURES, GOLD BOXES & OBJECTS OF VERTU bei Christies in London versteigert.
